A caravan-related accident caused severe disruption in the Melton borough of Leicestershire this week after a vehicle collision sent a tourer careering down a hill without a tow car.
The incident occurred at around 3pm on Saturday, when a grey BMW and green Renault Megane collided on the A607 just past Frisby.
According to the Melton Times, one of the vehicles was towing a caravan at the time of the crash, with the tourer subsequently becoming detached and travelling down the road by itself.
Bizarrely, the caravan stayed on the right side of the road as it travelled down the hill before stopping after about 150 feet of travel.
Meanwhile, the severity of the car crash forced police to close the road for two hours, with both drivers and a female passenger taken to hospital with minor injuries.
Caravan owners must ensure they take extra steps to prevent any potential accidents. The advice comes after a family narrowly avoided serious injury when their tow car and tourer overturned on a stretch of motorway near Medway.
